Devotions with Inmates of His Majesty’s Prisons
The GARD Center continues to play an active role in supporting the rehabilitation and reintegration efforts of His Majesty’s Prisons.
Exciting developments are underway at The GARD Center! Work has begun to prepare the site for the installation of a new water tank, funded through the generous support of the Department of Environment under the Ministry of Health, Wellness, and the Environment.
In this video, you can see an excavator clearing the land where the tank will soon be installed, a vital step toward improving our water storage and irrigation systems. This project will strengthen our capacity to support agricultural training, enhance food production initiatives, and promote sustainable farming practices across Antigua and Barbuda.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Department of Environment for their partnership and continued investment in empowering local agriculture and youth development. Stay watching for more updates as we move forward with this important project! 🌱🚜💦
